CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING ASSIGNMENTS

Assignment 1 Group

You will need to be part of a group that produces a report on a situation of concern. The report should identify a 'problem' that has no obvious structured solution, and that is of interest to you, potentially the Business School or an employer. You should choose a problem situation that you can work on over the year of the course, and one that will provide a suitable learning vehicle for you and the group. It must allow direct consultation with both owners of the problem and with stakeholders or people who are affected by the problem. The key to this task is the techniques of problem identification and definition (and redefinition). Considerable creativity can go into redefining a problem so that movement on it is possible. This requires imagination (seeing the problem is lots of different ways) and patience (not making an immediate judgment).

This assignment is your opportunity to explore, as a member of a group, a problem situation to work with. You are likely to describe this problem situation in a number of ways and obtain the views of various stakeholders. Techniques are used for problem identification and problem definition. Definition and redefinition is seen as important, and should facilitate problem movement. The approach should be creative and new insights into the problem situation generated.

Length: between 3000 and 5000 words
Weighting: 20%

Assignment 2 Group

As a member of a group (as agreed by your tutors), you should be able to work on the problem situation described and explored in assignment one. Given that problem movement may have taken place, that you now have feedback from assessment and that group members have had an opportunity to reflect on the problem, you may need to reconsider the problem you are working on. Managing problem movement and redefinition are seen as important at all stages of problem solving. However, you should have forms of a problem statement and problem boundaries to work with. It should also be time for you to move on.

In this assignment you are concerned with the generation of ideas and options. You should use a range of creativity techniques to generate lots of new ideas, new insights and new perspectives on the problem. This is your chance to develop and demonstrate some of the craft skills of problem solving. The assessment takes the form portfolio and should contain a range of representational methods including summary notes and illustrative output from your creative problem solving process.

In this assessment you are expected to produce lots of ideas and show your creativity.
You should use a range of individual and group techniques, give some justification for your choice, describe how they were managed, give evidence of outcomes and prepare ideas for the next stage of ‘evaluation and implementation’. A variety of representations can be used. You should evidence your use of the techniques in a portfolio and evidence supportive research.
